The Waterfall Nails

I'm sure most all of you follow The Nailasaurus' blog and all of the wonderful manis she posts. If so, then you're more than familiar with the waterfall mani that she has been doing. She put up this TUTORIAL and I figured it was time to do it for myself.

I received many compliments on this.. and I really quite like the whole look. Though mine is a little rough looking, it is still pretty great!

I used a base of China Glaze White on White, then did some line work with China Glaze Liquid Leather, OPI No Room For The Blues, Orly Glitz, and Ninja Polish Hanukkah Floam. Then it was all topped off with Seche Vite.

I spaced some of my lines too far apart, which will be something I will pay more attention to next time - but I decided to add in the sparkle to sort of mask my mistakes to myself (other people would have no idea.. which is kind of the best thing ever!)

Thanks for stopping by and taking a look - I will see you all again soon!

I just realized I still have a couple post photos stocked up. Sigh. I haven't even uploaded all that is currently living on my camera. The fear is real.

That is for another day. Mayhaps this weekend.

Until then.

I think I said it at some point on my blog, but I feel like 2017 is going to be the year that I constantly do faux marble nails. Note: not watermarbling. I have given in to that failed activity far too many times.

No, I mean the classy kind of marble. You know.

This time, I did it in reverse, because, why not?

It counts, right?

Ugh. I love it.

All right, that is all for today. See you all again soon (I promise).

My sole mission was to make the wounds look as gnarly and gooey as possible (when I sent my sister some behind the scenes photos, she liked the original look.. but I literally told her I opted to make them 'gooier' - legit scientific term)

Anytime I can destroy my polished nails to make wounds is a great day to me!
